The WAB Friday Quiz #126

One word has been on the mind of Brighton & Hove Albion supporters this past week – strikers. If you have not gone to bed thinking about centre forwards or woken up wondering where goals will come from in 2021-22, are you even a Seagulls fans?

With so much talk about strikers as the transfer window slammed shut with Brighton failing to sign one (or in actual fact, signing one but loaning him straight to Stoke City) then what better subject is there to devote WAB Friday Quiz #126 to?

We have put together 20 questions on some of the good and some of the not-so-good centre forwards to have pulled on blue and white through the years.

Some of them could probably do a job for Graham Potter this season, given the paucity of options available. Wonder what Kurt Nogan is up to these days…
